XBBS question

[Bob Palowoda]

 I have been running a XBBS for
 a little while now and I am haveing a problem with getting a newer 
 version running that I hope someone can an insight to going on here. 
 Or has seen this before.

 First some config details:
 Machine: 286, 6meg mem, Xenix 2.2.1. TrailBlazier+ modem.
 bbsc1 is located in /v/bbs/bbsfiles/bbsc1
 areas.bbs is located /v/bbs/bbsfiles/areas.bbs 
 My ORGPATH is /v/bbs/bbsfiles/
 ------------------------------------------------------
 I'm running XBBS 7.2.3 and want to upgrade to 7.3.0. I have
 the sources and compiled it. I had to add the -LARGE switch
 to compile bbsc1.c (to get rid of OUT OF HEAP message) other
 than that the Make file is what is supplied.
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 Now for the problem. When I run the new bbsc1 and go to the
 (F)iles area it reports that there is a problem opening the
 files area. I did some printf's after it does a 
 strcpy(buf128,AREAS) and it looks as if it's a NULL. Nothing
 prints out. Everything else works fine except for the files
 area and when the bbs starts up striping the config file strings 
 and that dosn't report an error.
 It appears that the AREAS string got trashed, zeroed out somewhere
 but I don't have a clue where?
 As a standby I have the binary bbsc1 from 7.2.3 which I copy back 
 and it works with the same .config.bbs file the 7.3.0 is 
 bombing out on.
 Any ideas of what could be happening?
